is formed tl'nough the lower roar corner of the mold bpard and a bolt hole 3,8 is formed near the rivet holes, and a bolt bolo 39 is formed in the upper rear part ot the mold board.

The shin 40 has bolt holes- 4'1, and bolts 42 are inserted through these holes 41 and thropgb the holes, 3G to secure the cutter tp the forward edge of the mold board The shin 40 comprises a cutting edge flange 43 extending vertically in a plane slightly upon the land side of the .extension 1G, said cutting edge being curved in side elevation and extending from the lower front corner of the mold board to or above the top of the mold board, and the attaching {iange 44 extends from the rear edge of the flange 4B and fits against the front face olE the inold board, the Wearin face 45 extendin j lil-oni the cutting edge of the flange 43 lo t 1c rear edgeof the flange. 44, being cur-fed, and the material of the flange 44 bein(J` tapered so that the face 45 joins with the lare ofY iluI inolil board.

The plow share 4G has a si ud 47 extending roin its inner face near its rear end and a retaining lug 48 extendsv upwardly :from the inner eid o'f the stud. The inclined edge 49 extends from the point 50 to the upper edge 51,"the point 50 being oiiset fromv the line ofthe lower cutting edge 5 2 by a notch 53.' A hooked flange 54 extends toward the land-side from the edge 49 and a lug 55 c .xtends 'from the inner face near the vhooked fland e 54.

The looking edge 7i comprises a nudge 72 having beveled faces 73 and 74 and an extra beveled lip 75. A neck 76 extends from the point of the Wedge and a [iat head 77 extends from the neck.

The plow point 78 comprises a straight Hat supporting bar 7 S) having a rectangular opening 80 in ite` rear end, the point portion l extei'iding forwardly from the supporting bar 79, the cutting edge 82 extending from the tip of the point portion 81, backwardly and upwardly and connecting With the cutting flange 43, and the thin hooked beveled edge 83 extending from the opposite .side and overlapping the odge 49 oi the plow share, the tongue. 84 extending buckvvardly from [he point portion 81 Hush with the lower tari-e oi" the point and lern-'ing a sockel 85 between the hooked beveled edge Hi' and the tongue Si, the rear side 8() of the tongue 84 being tral'isvereely inclined to make a hook.

The plow share is placed in position with the )oint resting upon the tongue 84 and the ooked beveled edge 49 hooked under the edge 83. The plovv point 78 is placed in position upon the standard with the inclined edge 29 engaging the inclined face 86 and the support 18 fitting the hooked [lange 54, and the locking Wedge 71 is inserted from the land-side through the openings 2Q and 80, the lip 75 serving to push the bar 79 backwardl)7 and draw the point 29 against the hook 86.

The point support 18 engages behind the booked ila-nge 54 and presses the hooked flange 54 into the hooked beveled ed e 83 so. that the plov7 share cannot be with rawn or displaced without removing the locking Wedge 71.-

The wedge lock 87 comprises the' lock member 88 havin a vertically elon ated opening 89 to receive the 'headv 77 long tudinelly and te hold themed 7 7, when t r ned C rQSvwise of the, ripening; the hemmerhead 90 extending from the lock llband ltire hendl@ 91. extending from. the head1 art@ l'C-k at Subtuntialgly a right angle. 'The handle 91 and hainrner hea greausedgto dlljiiye i W. e 01.11. .S11 01 '.-1 aL e hoadk'etd flange and press?? hooked extends backwardly an upwardly-.ont "offtheslotto ari nmlghtrpsltmn straigdle of' Ithe way. The handle 9.1 may be'used in the turn-bueklesupport 20.

The upper plow share brace 93 is a stiff metal bar'having one end 94A curved tov fit against the standard, said curved end `having Aan opening 95 registering wthanopening 96 in the standard, y'and the otherend`97 of the bar is enlarged; `flattened and curved and ""has afbolt hole 98 registering with the" bolt hole`38 Vin thenioldyboard, a series'of rivet holes 99 registeringwith the rivet holes 37 in the mold board, and a slot 100 opening downwardly.

The lower plow share brace 101 is placed in position with a bolt 102 inserted through the bolt hole 24 in the standard and through the end of the brace 101. The brace 93 is placed against the rear 0i the mold board and rivets 103 are placed in the openings 37 and 99. Then the end of the brace 101 is brought into position and a bolt 104 is inserted through the brace 101, through the opening 98, and through the openinof 38. The upper mold board brace 105 is placed with one end inside of the end 94 and a bolt 106 is inserted through the standard opening 96, through the brace opening 95, and through the end of the brace 105. A bolt 107 is inserted through the mold board opening 39 and through the brace 105.

When the plow share 46 is applied, the stud 47 passes upwardly into the slot 100 and the lug 48 holds the outer rear end of the plow share from swinging forwardly or outwardly, and the lower end of the head 97 presses against the rear face of the plow share to hold it from swinging inwardly or backwardly.

The draft adjuster 108 is shown in detail in Fig. 16. The adjuster plate 109 has a series of perforations 110 and straps 111 and 112 extend backwardly and inwardly from the ends of the plate, one on each side of the forward end of the beam, and bolts 113 are inserted through the straps and through the bolt holes 2 in the plow beam to secure the plate 109 rigidly in place. The toggle link 114 has a head 115 upon its rear end, said head passing through any desired one of the openings 110. The locking ring 116 has a large opening 117 through which the head 115 will pass and a throat 118 leading from the opening 117 through which the head 115 will not pass, so that when the link 114 is passed through an opening 110 the lock 116 is placed in position for the head 115 to pass through the opening 117 and then the lock is slipped downwardly to bring the link 114 into the throat 118 so that the link cannot be drawn through the opening 110. The

ring 119 is placed upon the link 114, said ring having 'a circular Iopening'120 and an extension opening 121 leading from the cirhinged to the orwarden of the link `114 by a pin'f'123 and hasa head 124 upon its other end'so that whenfthe'tdggle hook is turned upwardly and baekwardly until.' the 'head 124 rests upon the link 114 the ring 119 =will passoverfthe' vhead 124,'r-there being slot7121 outgoffregister wit the lug .125.

Beforelapplying the ring the head 124 may be passed through the ring of whatever attachment isto be employe v "By manipulating the lock 116 the toggle hook may be readily removed from the plate 109 and the head 115 moved from one opening to another as desired to adjust the draft connection to the right or left in a horizontal plane or up and down so as to control the width of furrow the plow will take and the depth to which the plow will enter the ground. By manipulating the bolt 9 from one hole 7 to another the forward end of the plow beam may be raised or lowered, and by manipulating the turn-buckle 13 the plow beam may be still further and more accurately adjusted and the turn-buckle serves as a brace between the rear end of the plow beain and the rear part of the land-side.

Various changes may be made in the de tails of construction without departing from the spirit of my invention as claimed.

I claim: l

1.
